The g Hotel, Galway

The iconic 5 star g Hotel was the brainchild of client, Gerry Barrett (Edward Holdings). This 103 bedroom hotel is the flagship property of Monogram Hotels, Ireland's newest niche brand of luxury hotels. Douglas Wallace collaborated with design director, Philip Treacy, to create a five-star hotel interior unlike anything seen before in Ireland.

The g's 103 deluxe rooms include three individually designed suites. The quality of their design and finishes will secure the g's reputation for cutting-edge chic. The attention to detail is evident everywhere - from the use of colour and exquisite materials, to the choice of the hotel's artwork. The bathrooms are in fossiled Jura limestone, with double showers in all suites and bathroom products by Etro - exclusively made in Milan for the g. A dramatic light installation comprising more than 300 of avant-garde designer Tom Dixon's famous mirror balls illuminate the double-height central foyer. This complements the hotel's striking contemporary architecture.
